remember, is how Oliver Twist was named.
He came after boy named with "S'

custom in New York to name foundlings
after the place in which they were found,
as Washington Park, Esq, or John Bat
terry, or Mary Highbridge. That was seen
to be inhuman. 1t cursed the little ones
for life. To-day, Mr.. Blake gives them all

The CnrrRcL Time.

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
time; aud wonderful and delicate mechan'
sms are devised TO enable them to DO SO
But the more delicate n chronometer Is
made, the more subject it becomes TO de-
rangemnnt, and unless 1t be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness
What wonder, then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of Man-should require to
be kept thoroughly clcanscd. The liver IS
the main-spring OF this complex structure,
and on the Impurities left in the blood by a
disordcred liver. depend most of the ills
that flesh Is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung scrotula), is traceable TO the
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney
diseases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart
disease, dropsy, and a long catalogue OF
grave maladies have their origin in tor
pid, or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, by establishing n
healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as
a cure and preventive of these diseases.

The Boston Transcript relates that pro-
iessonal gentleman of that city. who had
occasion to visit a lady subject to aberra-
tons of mind, narrowly escaped partici-
pating in a tragedy not long ago. The
lady had, in what was evidently one of
her alterations, requested him to accom-.
pany her to another part of the house, and
he deemed it altogether best to follow.
Suddenly he found that she had led him
out upon the roof of the house. Once
there, she calmly insisted upon leaping to
the ground and taking him with her. He
struggled to save himself and her, and as
her frenzy gave her unusual strength, the
gentleman found his task very hard one.
When at last he had succeeded in getting
her off the roof, and into a place of safety,
he was rather more dead than alive, so
great was his exhaustion and excitement.

Mr.. w. j. GILLESPIE, a native of
Chicago, who for the last two years has
worked in responsible position on the
Panama Canal, arrived at his home
from Panama June 9th. He stated to
8 Chicago reporter that there are from
$1,000 to $4,000 men altogether at work
on the canal at present, but if the Ca nal
Company does not get another loan the
work cannot go on much longer. There
has been the grossest mismanagement
in every direction. The parts of the
canal that have been excavated have
been allowed to fill up with clay washed
down by the river, so that much of the
work has to be done twice. Immense
quantities of useless machinery, made
principally in Belgium, are strewn all
along route, lying idle and rusting.
In some places the line of the canal has
been changed after being cut, so that a
new cutting had to be made to fill in the
old one There is much Encouragement
In every direction, and such general
slip-shod way of carrying on the bust
ness that if they had all the money they
wanted He did not believe they could
have the canal finished for ten years.
